Abstract
A photonic polarizing beamsplitter is disclosed. The beamsplitter comprises a first waveguide, a second waveguide located above the first waveguide, and a birefringent coupler between the first waveguide and the second waveguide. The birefringent coupler has an effective refractive index for a TM mode which is greater than a refractive index of the first waveguide, and an effective refractive index for a TE mode which is less than the refractive index of the first waveguide. The second waveguide comprises a plurality of outwardly tapering legs with a gap between adjacent legs that are connected downstream to a body. The vertical beamsplitter uses less surface area.
